In what probably was the most exciting Press Release email I’ve received in the past few months, SPB Software, the makers of some of our favorite applications and games like SPB Wallet, SPB Weather, SPB Puzzle and SPB Brain Evolution have notified us yesterday that they announced their signature SPB Mobile Shell 5.0 yesterday during [...]
Lately, there has been a buzz of applications that aim to modify the Symbian Homescreen, by adding social media aspects, news and weather, like vHome and Flyscreen. The latest such discovery to fall under our radar is HipLogic.
When launched, HipLogic brings a full new UI to Symbian, with the regular date, battery and reception notifiers, [...]
SPB is known for their excellent Windows Mobile applications, and here lately they’ve been working feverishly to bring out some really excellent Symbian applications, including SPBtv and SPB Puzzle. Today’s announcement brings SPB Weather to Symbian-powered smartphones with some really cool features. I’ve been testing it out on my Nokia N97, and it has completely [...]
Nimbuzz is one of my favorite instant messaging clients for Symbian-powered devices for several reasons. For one, I get a Nimbuzz username and password, and all my accounts are stored there.

There is a lot to love about the Satio, and I would suggest you take a look at the detailed software walkthroughs [...]

The Nokia 5800 XpressMusic is one of my favorite phones. It’s fun, cheap, and offers plenty of useful features, and touchscreen web browsing is just plain nice. However, the homescreen on this thing is completely useless, as it’s only able to show 2-3 calendar events and a few other bits of information, leaving the rest [...]
One of the things that I really love about my Nokia N79 is how informative the homescreen is. At a glance, I have quick access to 6 applications, can quickly see if I have any new emails or upcoming calendar events, and see if there are any WiFi hotspots in range. Unfortunately, I also have [...]
